[175] 33 τοσαῦτα καὶ περὶ τῆς δευτέρας πεντάδος ἀποχρώντως λέλεκται πρὸς ἐκπλήρωσιν τῶν δέκα λογίων, ἅπερ ἱεροπρεπῶς ἔχρησεν
αὑτὸς ὁ θεός. ἦν γὰρ ἁρμόττον αὐτοῦ τῇ φύσει, κεφάλαια μὲν τῶν ¹ ἐν εἴδει νόμων αὐτοπροσώπως θεσπίσαι, νόμους δὲ τοὺς ἐν τῷ μέρει διὰ τοῦ τελειοτάτου τῶν προφητῶν, ὃν ἐπικρίνας ἀριστίνδην καὶ ἀναπλήσας ἐνθέου πνεύματος ἑρμηνέα τῶν χρησμῳδουμένων εἵλετο.

Concerning the Ten Commandments, which are the Heads of the Law First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 3. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 175 focus

I have now spoken in this manner, at sufficient length, concerning the second table of five commandments, which make up the whole number of ten, which God himself promulgated with the dignity befitting their holy character; for it was suitable to his own nature to promulgate in his own person the heads and principles of all particular laws, but to send forth the particular and special laws by the most perfect of the prophets, whom he selected for his preeminent excellence, and filled with his divine spirit, and then appointed to be the interpreter of his holy oracles.
